Guys,
Thanks for the responses. At the local club this morning there were a few ML Longhunters. They noticed my several empty case/powder measures on my bench. The guys thought it was a great idea to have a FIXED powder measure that could not be bumped, and thus change, the powder dispensed as often happens with the brass adjustable powder measure. A couple guys dived into the Brass Barrel and retrieved empty cases. I will now go to my shop, turn on the radio, whistle up old dawg, and engage in a cottage industry of Fixed Powder Measure making. I have the small baggie zip locks that will hold marked "70, 80 and 100" grain highly polished powder measures. At the town yard sale I will donate them to my church table for sale at $2.00 each. Oh, what a country. Adam

It depends
I have used empty .45/70 brass as a powder measure, but then you need a powder can and a lot of dumping into the brass cases. I changed and now use plastic vacutainers with a rubber stopper. The different color tops denote different powders like FFG, FFFG or FFFFG. There is a paper label to write on if desired. There is no fumbling or mess and a pocket can easily hold a lot of these vacutainers. So it depends. Take care...
Joe
